"Instead of Mandela's New World, our politicians and their media flunkies busily and viciously strive to resurrect an Old World in which there will be no safety, no asylum, for anybody but themselves. These men, direct descendants of other men WHO CAME TO AMERICA NEVER ASKING ANYBODY'S PERMISSION TO ARRIVE OR TO INVADE OR TO CONQUER OR TO EXTERMINATE OR TO ENSLAVE OR TO BETRAY OR TO EXPLOIT AND DISCRIMINATE against those who preceded them and those who, willingly or not, came after them- these men now contrive a so-called immigration crisis and they invent and then promulgate pathological idiot terms like 'ILLEGAL ALIENS'." (June Jordan, "We Are All Refugees")
